A Linear graph
a straight line
nonlinear graph.
When a graph's data points do not yield a straight line, it indicates that the relationship between the variables is non-linear. This can suggest that the underlying relationship is more complex, potentially involving polynomial, exponential, or logarithmic relationships. In such cases, curve fitting techniques or non-linear regression may be used to model the data more accurately. Analyzing the residuals can also provide insights into the nature of the relationship.
A non-linear graph. It could be a polynomial (of a degree greater than 1), a power function, a logarithmic or trigonometric graph. In fact any mathematical function other than a linear equation.

To get data from a graph efficiently, you can use the gridlines and labels on the axes to determine the values of the data points. You can also use a ruler or a straight edge to help you accurately read the data points from the graph.
